<p>Woah, you got a presidential nomination? I wish my parents were career military… but, alas, they are not and I must compete for myself. You also got to head to the SLS, and I was stuck taking finals that week. </p>
<p>I first heard of West Point the begining of my junior year, and after research, I realized what a great match it would be for me. I just wish I could have been a bit more informed earlier on. That would have possibly gotten me in better shape, been involved in more sports, and gotten to the SLS (my counselor tried to reschedule finals for me).</p>
